This review is from: Jetstream / Krafty (Audio CD)

Funny how modern groups who are clearly influenced by New Order of the 80s put out better songs than New Order, who seem to be trying too hard to sound modern, not realizing that their old sound actually IS modern. However, one of the remixes on this single sort of bring them closer to capturing the modern retro sound. As usual, Jacques Lu Cont takes a modern alternative track and sucks all the energy out of it with a boring house mix (check out mixes of Gwen Stefani and The Killers for further examples of this phenomena). The Richard X mix is the ideal "new wave sounding" mix on this disc, probably the best in the bunch. The Arthur baker mix (considering he's been around since the 80s) is a close second, but it's a bit slow and uninspired. Tom Neville's mix is another uninteresting house mix. And finally, the Pete Heller mix is deep dark and moody, and boring. As a sort of "bonus track", you get two mixes of Krafty not on the original single. The Passengerz mix is surprisingly soft and uninteresting, and is more like a repetitive dub than a full mix. DJ Dan's dub (his vocal mix was on the Krafty single) sounds like it samples the opening drum roll from Bizarre Love Triangle. While energetic and fast, this mix also gets repetitive fast.
